Long post/7 hour donkfest and nothing to show for it.........

Today i decided i would donk it up and play some of the Sunday tournaments but couldn't really get anything going. I played in the 215 Sunday million on stars, the 215 heads up matches on stars, and the 215 500k guaranteed on full tilt. In the Sunday million i built up a nice stack after the first couple hours but made a horrible play and it really cost me my tournament. I played the hand so horribly I'm actually to embarrassed to talk about it haha. I wish i knew how to get hands from tournaments so i could just show you the link to the hand but i don't know how to do it. Very quick summary- blinds 400/800 i have about 25k and the idiot has about 30k. I raise from the button to 2200 with 99 and the BB calls. flop is 632 he bets out the minimum 800, i raise it up to 3200, he min re raises me to 6400 i just call. Turn is a 3 and he now bets out a tiny 1600, for some stupid reason i decide to just call and I'm still wondering why i did this. River comes down a 6 so the board is 66332 he bets out like 4500 and stupidly i call knowing he has something like 65 and he shows 67 off to take the pot. That put me at like 6000 in chips and i pushed 99 into ak and aq all in pre but obviously i lost so i finished in like 2700th or something weak. The next tournament was the heads up matches where i was also cruising along in until i ran into Scott Fischman aka bad playing luck sack. I won my 1st 2 matches pretty easily and was onto the 3rd round where i had to play against fischman. He has had some pretty good results in tournaments in stuff but i really felt his play against me was very weak and if i didn't get out drawn every hand i couldve won. He was just playing aggressive preflop but very passive post and would just chase me down every time no matter what i bet and would hit 2 pair or any card he needed. I needed to win this match to make the top 32 and into the money but obviously i couldn't get it down when he called my kings down with bottom pair to hit a straight. I think i played pretty well today in the stars tournaments but just couldn't get anything going. In the 500k full tilt tournament i was able to make a pretty deep run but came up short once again. There were about 3300 players with it paying the top 470 and i managed to finish in like 130th for about 620 or something. I just don't understand how these tourney players can stand playing in them all the time. You pretty much have to final table any of these events to make any real money and that's just hard to do on a consistent basis. Today i played for about 7 hours just to break about even and i just don't know how tourney players can do it. Anyways enough poker talk and onto this weekends events. Friday night i went over to a friends house(goudy) who was having a party before boat night and it was a pretty fun night. For some strange reason i don't think it was as packed as usual but i still had a really fun time from what i remember. When Saturday night rolled around i was actually looking forward to the week being over, i feel so old haha. I had been paryting pretty hard since Tuesday and was just ready for the weekend to be over with so i could rest my body and liver haha. A few people and i went over to see Def Leppard over in sarnia at bay fest and they put on a really good show, better than aerosmith. I have seen def leppard before at DTE but they definitely rocked and i would have to say they probably put on the best concert of anyone i have seen other than maybe kid rock. That pretty much sums up my busy weekend and unfortunately i have another busy week ahead. I leave for Las Vegas on like the 30th or 31st to make the big move and i still have a million things i have to take care off. So with that being said i have to get up early tomorrow(by 1) and do tons of running around so I'm going to call it a night. Check back tomorrow to see what i got going on and i will let the smooth sounds of bobby light take it from here and I'm out.
